"The mural was inspired by the ecology of the Salt Lake foothills. It depicts friendly honeybees collecting pollen from sunflowers and elephant’s heads—both native Utah flowers."

Eric Fairclough

"My inspiration for my bike rack mural comes from the many years spent exploring the mountains and foothills of Salt Lake City. The muted, earth tone color pallette is meant to reflect the experience of hiking the trails above the city. I wanted something that was bold in the pattern work but that also blended in with the surroundings. Really happy with how it turned out and excited to see it installed and ready for use. "

Valerie Jar

"This design is based on my experiences trail running in the foothills—I wanted to capture the moments where day shifts to night, so one side shows the landscape in bright daylight and the other shows the lower contrast side of the night."

Bill Louis

“The inspiration behind my artwork stems from my culture and the sunset in the Islands with palm trees. From the base that represents bamboo, coconut husk seat and fishing hook for handle bars. All these elements are inspired by Polynesian and Island culture. I wanted to have more Pacific Islander representation here in Utah as their is a growing community here. "

Caro Nilsson

"This bikerack is a celebration of the neighbors we have up in the foothills - the absolute joy of paintbrush exploding in colors that almost vibrate. I want us to remember that the simple act of our noticing, our awe, has the power to make the world around us that much more vibrant."

Brooklyn Ottens

"My mural design was heavily influenced by the presence of the Sego Lily cut into the middle of each wheel. As our state flower, I really wanted the Sego Lily to be the star of the show, so I used simple colors and heavy lines to accentuate the flower to create a vintage, pop art style bike rack."
